Biographical history

Christ Church, Highbury Grove, was consecrated on 12 October 1848, following discussions by local residents from 1846 onwards. The parish was formed in 1849 from part of Islington parish. Parts of it were later assigned to Saint Augustine, Highbury, and Saint John, Highbury. The church was constructed in 1847, designed by Thomas Allom in the Decorated style, following an usual floor plan with a central octagon. The parish was united with Saint John, Highbury, in 1979 and with Saint Saviour, Aberdeen Park, in 1981.

A combined chapel and school opened in 1836 was taken over by Christ Church which handed it over as a girls' school and boys' school to Saint John, Highbury Park, in 1883.
